Grants to the Voluntary and Community Sector The Portfolio Holder for Customer, Community and Regulatory Services presented a report setting out proposed consultation on the amalgamation of a range of existing funds into three categories; Earmarked funds, Revenue Grant Scheme and Capital Grant Scheme. He confirmed that the comments made by representatives would form part of the consultation. The proposed approach for Dorset Council was to aim to deliver a fair apportionment of spend across the council area whilst recognising the valuable contributions made by the voluntary and community sector. The Portfolio Holder continued that it was essential to engage with the voluntary sector about the options in order to share to their views and experience. 2 Page 6 Cllrs Batstone and Ezzard addressed Cabinet expressing concerns for the future of voluntary organisations, stating that spending less could have a damaging impact on transformation projects and negatively hit the organisations that the Council relies on for support the most. There were also concerns expressed regarding the future of Arts and Culture. Cllr N Ireland suggested that the consultation period should be 12 weeks in line with the statutory guidelines from the Cabinet Office. In response, the Chief Executive confirmed that these guidelines related to Government consultation and the proposed 6 weeks was inline with LGA procedures. Cllr Rennie welcomed the consultation and suggested the council should consider the hidden social deprivation in rural areas. She also felt that the consultation report should be considered by Scrutiny prior to the final report being brought back to Cabinet.
